The Canadian Digital Service

The Government of Canada must embrace new methods and tools to improve how it designs, builds, and delivers services. The Canadian Digital Service (CDS) is bringing together the skills and expertise needed to accelerate this change. Informed by similar initiatives in the U.S. (the U.S. Digital Service/18F) and the United Kingdom (the Government Digital Service), the Government will adopt new ways of serving Canadians. Better use of digital technologies could improve the ways in which businesses can access government services, speed up immigration processing times through better-integrated information, or make it easier for Canadians to access benefits or tax information online.
